I just think, if we’re going to sign another striker, we should get someone who offers something different. Collins, and McGoldrick are different players, but neither of them offer much in behind. Someone who makes nippy runs would be my priority. Don't disagree at all, we could definitely do with an option of pace if that is a possibility for us this window.

Ramos Posted January 22, 2023 Share Posted January 22, 2023 Get him in on loan till the end of the season. Sign him perm in the summer and then 10 years on…. It’s REDEMPTION. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaltRam Posted January 22, 2023 Share Posted January 22, 2023 We need a poll. Chris Martin signed on loan for six months, or no striker at all signing this window? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
i-Ram Posted January 22, 2023 Share Posted January 22, 2023 Bloody hell, this forum must be in need of traffic if we are letting this thread burn. Martin is past it, and who the f*** is Darren Witcoop. S8TY, Bigfella and sheeponacid 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarkFruitsRam7 Posted January 22, 2023 Share Posted January 22, 2023 I know everyone focuses on McClaren-era Martin, but that resurgence under Cocu was glorious too. That was a fun few months. SaffyRam, TuffLuff, angieram and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCFC1388 Posted January 22, 2023 Share Posted January 22, 2023 We are in a very limited market, so if Warne is happy with a player coming in then I am happy. There are pros & cons to every signing. Yes Martin isnt the most mobile but he never has been, but like McGoldrick his brain is his quickest featyre and at this level McGoldrick has shown how much of a difference that can make. Surround him with runners like Knight & Martin will get a fair few goals & assists before the end of the season. Personally, I was a huge fan of Martin when he was here & if he comes back il fully support him again. I do think someone like Wickham would be a better choice though.

May Contain Nuts Posted January 22, 2023 Share Posted January 22, 2023 (edited) Anyone here actually seen him play last season or this to make a fair judgement on what he does or doesn't still offer?

TomTom92 Posted January 22, 2023 Share Posted January 22, 2023 Not for me, I know Collins and McGoldrick are both over 30 but for me they both work hard with the added bonus that DM is a superb technician. I think being a hard working striker is top of the attributes when it comes to playing in a Warne side. If the choice is Martin or nobody then of course I’d take him for an extra body and the nostalgia. However, I would be pursuing all other options before coming to this conclusion.

If we needed a centre forward for three months and cost us little and he would be playing in a lower level league so to me it would be silly not to consider him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have Collins, we have McGoldrick and we could even use Barkhuizen or Dobbin in a pinch. He isn’t better than any of those at this stage in his career. If you don’t run, you won’t play. Paul Warne clearly stated that. Rules Martin out immediately. Seems this debate goes off every few months on this forum. The obsession with former players is nauseating. Surprised people don’t fancy signing Shaun Barker. Just waiting for the fan club to tune up the band.

Leicester Ram Posted January 22, 2023 Share Posted January 22, 2023 Not sure he fits Warne’s style of play but does McGoldrick, our top goal scorer? Might see why people want a different type of option but he’s got the technical skills to be excellent at this level, great target man to feet and can finish. Is that not just what Didzy does? Except Martin’s a bit stronger, more of a target man. TuffLuff, Jimbo Ram, LeedsRam1999 and 3 others 2 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
